An abstract characterization of line integrals
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold (endowed with a Riemann structure, if useful). If $\omega \in \Omega^1 (M)$ is a smooth $1$-form and $c : [0,1] \to M$ is a smooth curve, one defines the line integral of $...

Why is the divergence theorem used in the Eells-Sampson paper slightly different from that in a textbook?
I am reading Harmonic Mappings of Riemannian Manifolds by Eells and Sampson. In chapter 2, the author(s) used the divergence theorem, which does not look like the usual divergence theorem for ...

Question about a particular estimate in Riemannian geometry
I have been studying the book Some Nonlinear Problems In Riemannian Geometry - Thierry Aubin. On page $46$ he begins the proof of the Sobolev imbedding theorem to manifolds. The proof is divided in ...
